An awesome mid century dining table with 3 leaves from American of Martinsville. This design with it's beautiful walnut and inlay bands across each end along with those infamous aluminum X's on the corners has been attributed to George Nelson on various furniture posts I've seen. I'm not convinced that's true but it's a great table none the less. It shows light signs of wear (light scratches, slight crazing) but is in good, solid shape overall.

Dimensions: Without leaves 60.25" long by 40" wide (at widest point); each leave adds 12" making the total length with all leaves inserted a whopping 96.25".

A great highboy dresser from Kent Coffey's Townhouse collection. This highboy has awesome walnut grain that shows nicely on the top. All drawers work properly on this sturdy piece of furniture. It's complete with the true sign of furniture from the 60's, a couple of minor cigarette burns on the left side of the top (see 5th picture).

A beautiful mid century dresser from the Declaration line by Drexel which was designed by Kipp Stewart and Stewart MacDougal. This dresser is in excellent condition with only very minor signs of age. It has two drawers that are hidden by a pull down cabinet door and three exposed drawers that feature those original white porcelain drawer pulls. All drawers slide in and out easily. The pull down cabinet door rubs slightly with the dresser frame on the top right corner but pops out from the magnet when pushed as it should. The walnut wood on this dresser has beautiful grain and is in great shape as can be seen in the pictures. The only detectable flaws are 1) a small chip on top at the right back corner and a small scratch in the center of the top.

This terrific solid wood china cabinet has beautifully grained walnut and all original glass and hardware. It's in excellent condition with very minor vintage wear. It has lighting in the top display area along with a light in the lower cabinet but replacing of all wiring is recommended prior to use.
